[Intro]
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelu.....jah!
[Verse - C]
From the canyons of the mind we wander on and stumble blindly
Through the often-tangled maze of starless nights and sunless days
While asking for some kind of clue or road to lead us to the truth
But who will answer?
[Verse - C]
Side by side two people stand together vowing hand-in-hand
That love's imbedded in their hearts but soon an empty feeling starts
To overwhelm their hollow lives and when they seek the hows and whys
Who will answer?
[Verse - Am]
On a strange and distant hill a young man's lying very still
His arms will never hold his child because a bullet running wild
Has struck him down. And now we cry "Dear God, Oh, why, oh, why?"
But who will answer?
[Verse - Am]
High upon a lonely ledge a figure teeters near the edge
And jeering crowds collect below to egg him on with, "Go, man, go!"
But who will ask what led him to his private day of doom
And who will answer?
[Chorus]
If the soul is darkened by a fear it cannot name
If the mind is baffled when the rules don't fit the game
Who will answer? Who will answer? Who will an.....swer?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelu.....jah!

[Verse - C# - told]
C (C#)
In the rooms of dark and shades the scent of sandalwood pervades
Am (A#m)
The colored thoughts in muddled heads reclining in the rumpled beds
F (F#)
Of unmade dreams that can't come true and when we ask what we should do
(G#) (C#)
Who... Who will answer?
[Verse - A#m]
Am (A#m)
'Neath the spreading mushroom tree the world revolves in apathy
Em (Fm)
As overhead, a row of specks roars on, drowned out by discotheques
F (F#)
And if a secret button's pressed because one man has been outguessed
(G#) (C#)
Who will answer?
[Verse - A#m]
Am (A#m)
Is our hope in walnut shells worn 'round the neck with temple bells
Em (Fm)
Or deep within some cloistered walls where hooded figures pray in halls?
F (F#)
Or crumbled books on dusty shelves or in our stars, or in ourselves
(G#) (C#)
Who will answer?
[Chorus]
(F#) (G#) (C#) (A#m)
If the soul is darkened by a fear it cannot name
(F#) (G#) (C#) (A#m)
If the mind is baffled when the rules don't fit the game
(F#) (G#) (F#) (C#) (G#) (C#)
Who will answer? Who will answer? Who will an....................swer?
(F#) (G#) (F#) (C#) (G#) (C#)
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelu....................jah!
